WARREN, Pa. – DuBois’s Cam-Ron Hays scored four touchdowns on the ground to lead the Beavers to perhaps their biggest opening-season win in six years with a 28-7 victory over Region 1 preseason favorite and two-time defending District 9 2A champion Karns City.
And that is the reason Hays is the 2022 YDL Sports Network D9and10Sports.com District 9 Jim Kelly Football Player of the Week powered by the Allegheny Grille of Foxburg.
Hays ran the ball 10 times for 84 yards and the four touchdowns while also going 9 of 15 for 52 yards passing.
